"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Lies, lies and more lies. Not that it matters to me, you're the one suffering from self-deception. I have given you plenty of advice, but you're just shutting out down.

If you don't want advice you can get the fvck out of this forum instead of wasting everyone else's time. Just fvck off, you are a cancer to the internet.
No, your advice is "the psychological stuff" which is vague at best.

Plus, I doubt you fvck anything I would want to touch.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I just had my 2nd of 3 appointments with plastic surgeons. She was a decently attractive female. She told me there was nothing wrong with how I looked and advised against all of it. She said I could wind up with shelves under my eyes. But she said I looked good as I am.

Just from the brief chat, it became obvious that my problem is self-esteem. Other than that, it's not being social. Not having the desire to be social or the need to be social unless it's absolutely necessary, in which case, I can.

The last paragraph. Insight. Stay there, work on that. Lots of great advice given to you about getting out there and socializing more. But you said you don't have the desire to socialize, so start there and explore ways to increase this desire. You said you can be social when necessary so look at the situations where that occurs and see if you can transfer any of that to other social situations. Identify what deters you from socializing and look at how to overcome this, build up a tolerance to it.

Really, that last paragraph you wrote is key here.
